You most probably have a broadleaf or deciduous tree that is
either an elm, willow, beech,
cherry or birch.
Let's continue...
Does your tree have a leaf that is narrow and long with small toothed leaf margins (serrate)? If yes, you most probably have a willow.
Does your tree have a leaf that is doubly toothed around the margins of the leaf (doubly serrate) and asymmetrical at the base? If yes, you most probably have a elm.
Does your tree have a leaf that is doubly toothed around the margins of the leaf (doubly serrate) and symmetrical to heart-shaped at the base? If yes, you most probably have a birch.
Does your tree have an elliptical leaf that is saw-toothed around the margins of the leaf, with very fine curved or blunt teeth and symmetrical at the base? If yes, you most probably have a cherry.
Does your tree have a leaf that is toothed with sharp, incurved teeth around the margins where the surface texture is smooth (glabrous) and paper-like? If yes, you most probably have a beech.
